Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

Chapter 16 - Merchants Appear! Making A Small Profit!



After finishing the treatment, Richard left Mia’s bedroom.

With Mia’s current condition, she would probably remain unconscious for a few days, so there was no rush about this matter.

Miwei could take care of her.

After packing up, Richard went to check the fields.

The planting of potatoes had been completed, and Richard arranged some new tasks for the dozens of workers.

That was to dig the foundation for the city walls at the designated location.

Then Richard went to the town and said to the sheriff, “Send a few people to the neighboring town to recruit some men. Offer them 200 copper coins per month, including meals, but they must be honest.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Although the sheriff wasn’t very bright, he could still carry out the orders.

Richard also recruited some men over forty on his territory.

These people were not suitable for the territorial army due to their age. However, they could be used for carrying stones, sand, and other tasks.

‘Oh, also have to buy some sand carts to be used on construction sites tomorrow.’ Richard thought.

There were many such sand carts on e-shopping platforms. There were even gasoline versions, which were quite labor-saving.

However, Richard didn’t buy those.

First, it wasn’t necessary, and second, gasoline versions were not available on the Taobao platform.

Upon careful consideration, there were still many things to buy, such as shovels, steel drills, spades, chisels, etc., but these things weren’t very expensive.

Richard made a list and planned to buy them tomorrow.

After dealing with these matters, in the afternoon, the swords, shields, bows, and arrows Richard bought arrived.

He planned to distribute them tomorrow.

When it was getting dark, Richard returned to the small castle.

Mia was still unconscious, but her fever wasn’t as severe.

Richard fed her medicine again.

Miwei then brought hot water for Richard. After serving him, she went to the bedroom to take care of Mia.

The next morning, Richard took out a bottle of milk and said, “Heat it with hot water and feed her a bit. Don’t feed her too much. You don’t need to follow me today. Just stay at home and take care of her.”

“Thank you, master!” Miwei was very grateful.

When Richard was close to the town, he opened the live stream.

There were already quite a few people in the broadcast room.

During the black screen, the number of people waiting online had exceeded ten thousands.

As soon as they saw Richard start broadcasting, many people began to greet him.

“Believe it or not, I’ve crossed over,” Richard said, a line he hadn’t used for several days.

【Wow, it’s been a while since the anchor talked to us.】

【It’s a joyous occasion. The anchor finally has a bit of human touch.】

【The voice of the male god is so pleasant!!!】

【My ears are pregnant.】

【Where’s the cat girl????】

【……】

Richard’s words stirred up the live broadcast room.

After he activated the automatic shooting mode, he said, “The weapons and armor I bought today have arrived, so I’m ready to distribute them. Alright, I’m almost at the town now, everyone can see for themselves.”

【Don’t go, anchor, chat for a bit longer.】

【Anchor, one word equals one rocket, promise?】

【+1】

【+1】

Richard happened to see that barrage and said lightly, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll bankrupt you?”

[Unstained By Green Tea (Fake Sweetness)] rewarded with a rocket. Comment: Promise made, promise kept!

[Winner winner chicken dinner] rewarded with a rocket. Comment: Promise made, promise kept!

[Cute Big-Eyed Bunny ] rewarded with a rocket. Comment: Husband, don’t stop!

【Wow, is this how to drive?】

【….】

As a large number of rockets flew by, Richard said, “Alright, I’m going into the small town now.”

[Unstained By Green Tea] rewarded with a rocket. Comment: Counting this sentence too, keep going, host!

This sentence prompted many more people to reward again.

Among the netizens watching Richard’s live broadcast, there were quite a few with deep pockets, after all, there were so many viewers.

“My lord, someone is looking for you, they say they’re merchants from the city to the west.”

At this moment, a servant came to report.

So Richard completely ignored the broadcast room and let the system automatically record.

After arriving at the small town, Richard saw that over a dozen people were already waiting there.

Among these over a dozen people, more than half of them were carrying knives.

“My lord, hello, we are from Westgar City, my name is Tim,” A man who looked better dressed said politely to Richard.

Richard nodded lightly in response, waiting to see what the other party had to say.

Merchant Tim said, “My lord, the reason we came here is very simple. We want to buy crystal glass cups from you!”

Sure enough, here it comes!

Richard thought.

【It’s time for the much-anticipated glass-for-gold coins exchange segment.】

【Guess how many gold coins the anchor can sell the cups for today.】

【I guess ten.】

【I guess a hundred.】

【Stop guessing, I’m Auntie Wang. However many gold coins the anchor sells for, I’ll reward with that many rockets.】

【A wild moneybag has appeared!】

【Oh my god, Auntie Wang is here, make way, I’m going to start licking!】

【Forgive my frankness, but licking dogs are truly looked down upon. By the way, Auntie Wang, you are so beautiful!】

【D*mn! Licking dogs are indeed the worst! But Auntie Wang is so stunning!】

【Auntie Wang, I’m a man and being a man is my speciality, won’t you consider it?】

【I’m new here, may I ask, what’s the deal with Auntie Wang?】

[Richard’s New Fangirl] rewarded with 100 rockets. Comment: Hmph!

【That ‘hmph’ was spot on!】

【Missy, no doubt!】

“…”

[Cute Big-Eyed Bunny] rewarded with 100 rockets. Comment: Tch!

【The two misses are teaming up!】

【Great power!】

【Auntie Wang is holding her own!】

The atmosphere in the broadcast room started to liven up.

In a short time, the number of viewers in the livestream surpassed the hundred thousand mark!

“Where did you hear this from?”

In the small town, Richard asked Tim.

Merchant Tim said, “My lord, to be honest, we heard it from several slave traders.”

Slave traders?

Richard asked, “How many are you planning to buy, and what price are you offering?”

As soon as he heard Richard’s voice, Merchant Tim felt a surge of joy. Because… the implication in his words suggested that there was a chance!

“We brought a total of one hundred gold coins this time, and some are in silver and copper coins, please understand lord, we don’t have that much gold. As for the price, my lord, if you could offer us the same price, it would be even better!”

“One hundred gold coins?”

In this world, the purchasing power of a copper coin is roughly equivalent to a yuan in the pre-transmigration world, and a gold coin is equivalent to around ten thousand yuan.

This merchant seemed to be quite wealthy.

Bringing 100 gold coins on the road was equivalent to carrying over a hundred thousand in cash.

No wonder they brought so many guards.

After pondering for a moment, Richard said, “I’ve only managed to acquire 5 crystal glass cups recently, but I do have plenty of other things. Would you like to take a look?”

Merchant Tim eagerly said, “Of course, please bring them out, my lord.”

So, Richard took out porcelain bowls bought for 3 yuan each online, as well as a mirror, a stack of white paper, some combs, and some porcelain spoons.

The reason why he took out so many things was because Richard wanted more merchants to know through Merchant Tim’s mouth that he had good stuff here.

Merchant Tim’s eyes lit up when he saw the stuff Richard revealed.

“These are all good things!”

He picked up the porcelain bowl, looked at it and touched it repeatedly, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

“Is this craftsmanship? My lord, what are these bowls called?”

Merchant Tim asked.

【Pfft, craftsmanship… Come and buy from me. You can have as many of these bowls as you want!】

【That expression is so genuine, I almost thought he was a trader from another world.】

【666, all these extras in the host’s live stream could each win an Oscar~】

Richard didn’t look at the broadcast room and said, “These are porcelain.”

“Porcelain, what a beautiful name!”

Merchant Tim complimented, then said, “My lord, I can offer you 2 silver coins for each of these porcelain pieces, how about it?”

2 silver coins, equivalent to 200 copper coins, which means Richard sold these 3 yuan bowls at over sixty times their price.

Although the price wasn’t as high as that of the glass cups, it was still good.

Richard agreed.

Next was the mirror, which fetched a considerably high price. This time, it was sold for 20 gold coins.

In the end, all one hundred gold coins from Merchant Tim ended up in Richard’s hands.

Out of these one hundred coins, only fifty-something were gold coins, the rest were made up of silver and copper coins.
